Finally, the preacher Johannes Junius, on the journey from his fatherland, rested in the Lord in the ship Kennemerlant on the 1st of September last month (just as the whole ship sailed into this bay) and rested in the Lord on the other day, and the next day he was laid to rest here as a father, Christelijck. several times more seriously requested to be allowed to stay here on the Caep for so long, until the next year she could return to her friends with the return fleet, which was coming from India, with our permission, and with our permission, this request was noted by the E. Commissioner Huybert de Lairesse, there before. the late pastor also came out, before his departure from here had already been reasonably permitted, as he himself not only appealed to us for that: but also recommended that in the meantime his hand and some honest support be offered to her for her sustenance. Therefore, having properly considered the matter, we have been able to find no difficulty in it. In accordance with unanimous agreement, it has been understood and determined to allow the said widow to remain here, and her of pmo. From September onwards, to allow her to enjoy half of her deceased husband's allowance every month, that is, six and a half bad reals per month, until she returns to remarry or departs for her homeland, as in such a case (as we hear) all ministers' widows, according to the order of Our E.E. Principals, were presently invited to Batavia and elsewhere.
Thus done and resolved at the Fort of Good Hope on the date and year as above.
